We have done deep research on it. We built our own currency called ryxcoin as a test project.

2022 Edition 8 SEO MISTAKES TO AVOID IN 2022 If you are a successful online business person then you know how important it is to optimize your website following the latest SEO techniques. This digital marketing industry is always evolving to provide user experience and conversion rates related to websites, especially if you're a B2C company. The content & SEO strategies you are following for the past few years are not the same right now! SEO is a technique to convince the google search algorithm & search crawlers that your page content is the perfect choice for the related search query. Google always keeps changing the search engine “ SEO is a technique to optimization algorithm. convince the google search algorithm & So, business owners & marketers can get eliminated if search crawlers that they don’t consider the common SEO mistakes. your page content is the perfect choice for Whether it is limited or incorrect content distribution, the related search or even simple neglecting of link building strategies, query here are some of the SEO mistakes to avoid in 2022. ” 13 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition Duplicate content Content is the king of the digital marketing industry. And, it is a big NO for duplicate content. If you have spent most of your time researching effective SEO tricks, you would know, pages with no content or less content make a bad impact for ranking. But that doesn’t mean you have to add copy content or spinning content. Spinned content reduces the readability of content. If the content isn’t properly readable how will you get engagement ? Duplicate content confuses search crawlers to decide which content needs to be indexed as the same content appears in different urls. Also your website may be marked as a low search experience for Google. Types of duplicate content appears like- ● Duplicate URL ● Duplicate Homepage ● Same content with different webpage So, automatically generated content, low-quality content, spinned content & duplicate content are the most common SEO mistakes you should avoid in 2022. Not Up-to-date Content Fresh content is an indicator of a good SEO practice. Following Google's freshness algorithm update your content should be frequently updated. New content is best for organic traffic but webmasters & content creators should consider that old content may be irrelevant after a span of time & this might affect the website content structure & the ratio of traffic. Re-publishing & re-written content gives you a SEO boost. This will impact 30% on the search query of your edited topic. Keyword Stuffed Content Keyword stuffing is the most common mistake regarding Content SEO. Keyword density over 3% is an indicator of search engine spamming. According to SEO experts, keyword density about 1-2% is standard for 1000 words articles on average. Your targeted keyword must appear 1 or 2 times after every 100 words. 14 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition So, keep in mind that if you provide a quality full content but with heavily stuffed keywords this may cost a penalty for the website. Also this is important for 2022, as new AI technologies are more powerful to detect this type of mistake very easily. So, it will be wise if you use any tools to make sure the article is well written with proper keyword indicators. Bad Image optimization Websites with funky images are always lucrative & stunning. But adding high quality images without proper image tag optimization is a bad practice for SEO. It also causes poor page loading speed as a result website bounce rate gets higher. Before adding any image make sure the image alt text is optimized with the proper keyword. Adding image descriptions is easy for users to understand the purpose of the image. Also you should keep in mind that ● File type of image( PNG, JPG) ● Height & weight of image ● Image compression level. Poor Page loading Speed As we talked about poor page loading speed due to bad image optimization in the previous point, it is considered as one of the main reasons for bad SEO still now. If a user can’t access your website, it is nearly impossible to increase traffic to your site. According to Google’s page experience update, if any page loads more than 3 sec, most of the users move away to different search results. Also poor page loading speed makes a bad impression on mobile search results. Not Having HTTP Google has declared SSL certificates as a SEO booster since 2014. To increase site security, SSL implementation is a must. SSL is now considered as a ranking signal for better search engine results. 15 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition Website URL with http means your site has a weak site which definitely has a negative impact to rank your website. If your site collects user’s personal information & has a payment system then, it’s your responsibility to make sure the channel is secure otherwise you will lose rankings. According to research 80% of users don’t browse the site with http indication, hence the percentage of website drop increases & it directly affects the SEO ranking. Having an SSL certificate can give you three layer of security- ● Data Encryption ● Data Integrity ● Data authentication Not Making A Mobile Responsive Site In the upcoming years making your website fully mobile responsive will be a minimum requirement. As people want everything on the go, it is the main focus point for the website owner to design a website that will be flexible on mobile interface. Don’t forget about your mobile audience. As mobile browsing overtakes desktop browsing, online marketers need to optimize for this growing trend. If you analyze the site's traffic, you will see that most of them are smartphone users. If the user don;t get a smooth user experience then the traffic will automatically fall. Mobile responsive website requires to adjust all the site’s image, text to be adjusted on the interface regarding the types of device. Without this feature all the elements will be rendered very poor which will leave a bad impression on the user. 16 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition Bad Redirect Chains When there are many redirects between the initial URL requested and the final destination URL, it's called a redirect chain. URL A, for instance, redirects to URL B, which then redirects to URL C. This implies that both users and search engine crawlers will take longer to load URL C. Redirect chains can happen in two different ways: Omissions: Redirects are almost imperceptible to the naked eye. This implies that if you deploy a redirect and aren't aware that the URL you're redirecting already has a redirect, you'll almost certainly establish a redirect chain without realizing it. Migrations: After website migrations, many people fail to change their redirects. When migrating from HTTP to HTTPS or changing domain names and adding new redirects without updating current redirects. We are not saying redirect chains are not good for SEO. But multiple direct chains may affect SEO practice. Multiple redirect chains occur link quality loss. Multiple 301 redirects from initial link to destination link can confuse search crawlers & may give up to index your site or page. During a crawl, Google normally only tracks up to five redirect hops. The job is then aborted in order to conserve crawl resources and prevent becoming stuck. This has a negative impact on your crawl budget and may result in indexing issues. Using Too many inbound Anchor Text If you create a bulk of internal anchor links, google may detect it as spam or suspicious. As per google 100 or less links are ok for one page. Practically more than 100 links aren’t good for user experience. Try to use rich anchor text with targeted keywords, it won’t hurt your SEO. As per Penguin Algorithm Update , you can’t use generic anchor text like “Click Here” instead of you have to create anchor text using keyword that fulfill the link building requirement. 17 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition To nail your top SEO practice, the mentioned points need to be avoided in upcoming 2022. Optimizing your website for the search engine is a never-ending process. You can't make mistakes, or you'll get eliminated SEO is an ongoing process, so there are no settled formulas or methodologies that work for all sites every time. Business owners should constantly monitor what Google wants them to do in order to get ranked higher in search results. 18 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition 11 WEB DESIGN TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2022 Designers have begun to create websites as works of art, interactive projects, and sites that exist just to entertain and amaze. This dates back to the early days of the internet when designers were looking for methods to demonstrate new techniques or construct websites for the purpose of creating them. Web design is also moving forward with cutting-edge methods like complex interactivity and animations, as well as visual effects such as glassmorphism and grain. Designers are leveraging no-code technologies to make it all happen faster and more easily than ever before. Here are a few web design trends we think will have an influence in 2022. Oversized typography “ Web design is also moving forward with This year's design trend is oversized typography. cutting-edge methods Words become more of a visual element than part of like complex the prose when they reach a particular size. interactivity and This is a flexible method that works equally well in animations, as well as minimalist and maximalist designs and can be visual effects such as adapted to a variety of styles. glassmorphism ” 19 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition Extremely huge fonts with a lot of weight are dramatic, lavish, and attention-getting, and they surely have a wow factor that may attract and win over the majority of visitors. Whether you use them alone or in combination with attractive imagery, they carry forth forceful sentiments and do so loudly. Designers typically avoid fancy fonts when building websites with huge typefaces, instead opting towards neutral and plain scripts. They use them in headers, buttons, text, and pretty much anyplace else they want because there are no hard and fast restrictions. Fewer images in heroes Rather than depending on photography or graphics, many designers this year are crafting hero sections and landing pages that communicate with design. While hero photos provide an immediate visual impression, removing the distraction of a splashy image might help to focus on design and content. The absence of graphics also adds a layer of intrigue, compelling users to explore beyond the hero section. Linework The linework is a trend that feels both current and retro at the same time. Designers can use lines to divide sections, headers, paragraphs, and product galleries, or they can construct a dynamic grid that spans the entire page. To make this look even farther, add linework drawings (abstract or realistic). The line weight will have the most impact on the final result in this sort of design. Line art is everywhere, sitting on top of splash pictures in web design, generating unique logos for new businesses, and merging into intricate patterns used on lots of eye-catching product labels, with minimalism and flat design still ruling the trends. Interactive fonts Taking text even further, some designers have devised inventive ways to make it move and interact with the user's mouse. Using a hover-state change, similar to a button, is a simple approach to making text interactive. 20 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition It also helps because utilizing new no-code platforms, it's now easier to build more intricate effects than it was to try to implement these interactions by hand. It's crucial to keep readability in mind when incorporating interactivity into typefaces, as some individuals are easily distracted by moving characters. Simplicity 2022 can be a challenging year for businesses. If your company wants to expand, putting barriers in the way of client connection isn't a viable plan. What does this mean in terms of site design? In 2022, fewer words, soothing hues, brilliant visuals, and simple calls to action should be all the rage. Instead of placing everything upfront on one page, page design will shift toward lighter-weight experiences that invite users to go deeper. Instead of elaborate interactions that leave visitors feeling overwhelmed with knowledge, they'll use simple messaging that encourages them to want to learn more. Responsible Motion Design Now that we're talking about interactivity, it's time to speak about responsible motion design, which we're seeing as becoming more of a regular practice. While the movement is a fascinating aspect of web design, it's possible to go overboard and cause users to become ill by inducing motion sickness. Motion sickness is widespread, therefore avoid animations like mouse-triggered scaling, parallax effects, and plane-shifted scrolling (also known as scrolljacking). Motion can be used to signal that the interface has changed states, such as when the mode has changed. Modes are a tough idea to convey to consumers, but animation may aid in two ways: (1) making the mode shift visible; and (2) giving a mental metaphor for the mode transition. Memphis Design Memphis design is a design trend that began in 1981 and continues to this day. While the name suggests that it originated in Tennessee, it really began in Milan, Italy. The Memphis Group was created by Ettore Sottsass and other designers and architects. They named themselves after a Bob Dylan song called Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again, which was played repeatedly at their first meeting. 21 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition This design, which was one of the defining trends of the 1980s, is frequently regarded as a garish style, combining a plethora of chaotic patterns and forms. Memphis design was a rejection of minimalism and art critics' ostensibly sophisticated tastes in its day, making the design more colorful, accessible, and experimental than it had been. Gradients with grain Gradients are already popular, but they take on a whole new meaning when the grain is added. A perfect gradient is sleek and contemporary, giving items a futuristic sheen or a gleaming, mechanical appearance. Grain offers a design substance, texture, and a more natural feel. Grain can be made to look like film, photography, or print depending on the technique. A small multi-color grain can resemble analog film, yet a wider monochromatic grain can resemble a silk-screened poster. Grain and gradients that include it can be applied selectively or throughout a page, as a whole backdrop, or within individual items. Visible borders Web design loves to provide the impression that the material is carefully ordered by an invisible hand, floating freeform in digital space. The fact is that websites are created on a precise grid and are kept together by code. Web designers want to go a little more genuine in 2022, with layouts that disclose their base through basic borders and frames. Creative scrolling experiences Scrolling is the most prevalent sort of user interaction with a website, and scrolling provides a continual chance for dynamic interactive feedback. Visitors will be taken on creative adventures through scrolling experiences in 2022, which will be larger and better than before. You may change the pace, delivery, and interaction of the material by using creative scrolling patterns. Given that our online attention span has dwindled to around 8 seconds, a beautiful scrolling experience is sure to keep users engaged. 22 Online Magazine - Mobile Apps & E-Commerce : Issue 15 . January. 2022

2022 Edition Retro revolution As the birth of the World Wide Web fades from memory, today's up-and-coming web designers are drawing inspiration from the early days of the Wild West. Bright backdrop colors, apparent table layouts, and robotic fonts like Courier defined the so-called Web 1.0 of the 1990s. Despite the fact that all of this was done with catastrophic and frequently funny effects, the web designers of 2022 are recreating the trend with the extra benefit of over 30 years of combined design expertise. While the internet in the 1990s was a showcase of pointless gimmicks, graphics, and colors, it was also a period when the rules were still being written—and \"web designer\" wasn't even a job. Designers who have followed subsequently have seen those early days as a hub for unrestrained creativity while being constrained by industry rules (for better, or worse).
